The week before that we looked at how to intentionally release the church into the community and on mission. This week we look a little more closely at one of the goals of our discipleship pathway. What is a self-feeding Christian? Welcome to Run With Horses! My name is Norman and my goal is to help you thrive as a follower of Jesus. The spiritual life is both incredibly simple and potentially the most difficult part of your life. God invites you to live intentionally and on His mission. It’s very cool that we can do that together! Thank you for joining me today! If you are new to the show, you can find our past shows on our website, runwithhorses.net. I have spent several weeks focusing on a definition of the church and the current discussion about a discipleship pathway is best understood in the context of our broader look at the church. If you have been enjoying the show, I would appreciate it if you would leave a review wherever you are listening! And as always, your questions, comments and feedback are welcome. Write me at norman@runwithhorses.net. And now, on with the show...

There is an expectation of growth in Scripture. That makes sense if you accept the goal of Christ-likeness. I am not like Him today and the only way to get closer is to change. Am I being spoon feed or taking responsibility for my own spiritual growth? Growth Toward Maturity Hebrews 5:12 1 Corinthians 13:11 Jeremiah 17:10 1 Peter 2: 1 Ephesians 2:10 --- ### **1.

(00:00) Parenting Manual and Pursuing Godliness Together Susan’s New book – Parenting Manual https://a.co/d/8L7GWIo My wife has a new book out. She took some of the lessons from Scripture that helped us as parents and put them together into a parenting manual written as one thought a day from the Bible. You can find it on Amazon by searching for Susan Jane Smith, Parenting Manual. I also have a link in the show notes. If you are a parent or know a parent who is interested in raising godly children, this book can point you to Scripture that will help you keep your focus as you take the journey with your children. The book is $5 and is available as a paperback or kindle book. If you read it, leave her a review, it really does help others find it! Thanks!
